End of an era City Hospital - how fitting that the last patient out is one of our own doctors - hopefully he makes a speedy recovery in his lovely new surroundings at Midland Met 🧡

How lovely to see the Winter Garden being used for our Remembrance Day service this morning - the last post acoustics were 👌 We are so lucky to have this area at Midland Met 🧡

The Christmas trees are all lit up at the Midland Met. The parents of the first baby born at the hospital, Hernata, initially named Mona Lisa, returned to officially switch on the lights. Read more here: swbh.nhs.uk/news/christmas… #ChristmasTree

So proud to be part of this wonderful organisation. 2024 has been a monumental year and I’ve been incredibly lucky to have worked alongside some amazing colleagues. Roll on 2025 and whatever that brings 💙

Staff Awards are the highlight of the year - and we are already at over 300 nominations after just three weeks - but there is nothing more special for colleagues than being nominated by their patients and their loved ones 💙

Drumroll please… nominations for our Patient’s Choice Award are now open! If you or a loved one has received compassionate care from any individual or team over the last 12 months, please consider nominating them. It’s really easy – just click here: surveymonkey.com/r/patient-choi…

What a guy 👌🏻

Six years ago I left SWB to go on a secondment. In 2023 I returned on a secondment. I am now delighted to be staying as Associate Director of Communications. Thanks to everyone who has supported me 💙 p.s - take those opportunities - you never know where they might lead 🥰

Have a great day

Coffee is the comms life ☕️👌🏻

This team is the absolute definition of going above and beyond 👌🏻

We have had over 740 nominations for Star Awards this year - very much enjoyed reading through them all this week - a tough task ahead for our judges now!

It's National Apprenticeship Week - and at the Trust we offer a range of apprenticeships. Here's some top tips from our expert Karen when it comes to applying for a role. #NAW2025

One of my favourite days of the year - the publication of the Star Awards shortlist. Very proud to see the comms and engagement team shining the year - both as a team and as individuals. Alongside many other colleagues who I know are truly deserving of this recognition 👌🏻👏🏻

This is the heartwarming moment Stephen, ward services officer of 50 years at the Trust, won the Lifetime Achievement gong at the coveted National MyCleaning Awards. Read more here: swbh.nhs.uk/news/devoted-n…

Just watch his face - a mix of pure shock and delight 💙
